The news of Yunzhou's defeat, if nothing else, is only known to Empress Wu in the current god capital.
This is a blessing in misfortune, before the Manchu Dynasty civil and military know, there is still room for things to turn around.
The most important thing at the moment is to find a suitable way or excuse to cover up the matter as soon as possible Empress Wu couldn't help but sigh, the ancients said that "the mouth of the people is better than the defense of Sichuan", the news of the defeat of Yunzhou will be known to passers-by sooner or later, and it is not a way to blindly conceal it.
Once even the old farmers who are farming in the fields know about it, coupled with the help of some thieves who are not dead and have evil intentions, the whole country will be in turmoil, and at that time, the martial arts queen will be passive.
Although she is said to be a strong person, no matter how strong a person is, she can't be the enemy of the world, and one person against the whole world, unless her brain is completely broken.
Since it can't be hidden, there is no need to hide it, just find a scapegoat before the secret is made public, press all the heinous crimes of Yunzhou's defeat on his head, and try to pick out the stupid pig of Wu Yizong.
Empress Wu pondered for a long time, went through all the people who were involved with Yunzhou, and finally made a preliminary decision in her heart and thought of a scapegoat.
For this scapegoat, in the heart of Empress Wu, Cheng Boxian, as the deputy general of Yunzhou and the deputy head of the Yanyun Road March, is naturally the indispensable candidate and irreplaceable.
The most important thing is that Cheng Boxian is dead, no matter how you toss and charge him, it is impossible for him to jump out and question you and tell the truth in court.
A dead waste, using it for a while, is not too much.
In fact, in the heart of Empress Wu, the responsibility for the defeat of Yunzhou really fell on Cheng Boxian's head.
Wu Yizong has never fought a war, and it is understandable to make a wrong decision, but you Cheng Boxian was born in Jiangmen, and the old Cheng family is still a banner of the Tang Dynasty, and he can be called the leader of Jiangmen.
As a lieutenant general, why don't you advise when you know that the lord will make a wrong judgment You said that Wu Yizong did not listen to advice This is just an excuse to shirk responsibility, won't you die Don't you all say that you don't shoot the door to death, civil officials know that you scare the old lady by hitting your head on the pillar of the Vientiane Shrine, and you Jiangmen disciples can't use a knife to wipe your neck and scare and scare Wu Yizong's dog.
Could it be that you are hostile to my martial arts family, with ill intentions and ill intentions, and deliberately learn from "Xu Shu entered Cao Ying without saying a word", wanting to see the jokes of my martial arts family, so as to splash my dirty water and prevent me from ascending the throne and becoming emperor In this case, Cheng Boxian, you praying mantis who is immeasurable and vainly trying to block the car with your thin arms and legs, just rush to this point, you should die, and you have to take your whole family for your choice.
Now, with the scapegoat candidate, most of the matter is completed, and the next thing is nothing more than to refine the specific operation, such as how to plant the blame and the like.
This little thing should be told to Cheng Hei and think twice that they should spend a little more time and move their bodies and bones, otherwise, they will all become idle pigs, and they will have to be wiped by their mothers for everything.
A group of well-behaved babies can't support the royal family of an empire, and if it is an eagle, it will fly into the sky and soar for nine days, otherwise, after a long time, it will not be much different from a chicken, and it will be a big head against the sky.
Thinking of this, Empress Wu couldn't help but let out a sneer, Feng Mu glanced at Xiao Wenzi, and commanded in an extremely majestic and terrifyingly cold voice: "Xiao Wenzi, you go and properly arrange the Red Feather Messenger, don't treat them slowly, give 50,000 yuan to each person, let them rest for a few days and then turn around, remember, they work day and night without sleeping, they are extremely hard, don't let people disturb at will." ” "Slave obeys" Xiao Wenzi hurriedly agreed, and then left the Wucheng Hall to "properly" entertain the two Hongling messengers.
As a person who serves by the side of the Empress Wu, there is no stupid person, and the words of the Empress Wu have all been said about this, and Xiao Wenzi still doesn't understand However, Amitabha, the Empress Wu finally opened up the net and showed great mercy, without hinting at killing people and destroying mouths, but just put the two Hongling messengers under house arrest, serving them with delicious food and drink, and after two days, one person gave 50,000 yuan to walk, where to go back and forth.
Xiao Wenzi was rejoicing for the two Red Feather Messengers at the same time, but also rejoicing for himself.
After all, killing is a sin, and although it is said that it is an order to act and the body is involuntarily, it is inevitable that you will let your hands be stained with blood and lose your merit.
Lao Tzu is a crippled person, and his greatest wish in his life is to accumulate more yin virtue, so that he can be reborn in a good family in the next life, at least he must be a person with a full beard and a full tail.
After Xiao Wenzi retreated, Empress Wu turned his face slightly, his tone was much softer, and he instructed Shangguan Wan'er: "Guan'er, pass the decree to let the Household Department Shangshu Wu Chenghei and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Wu Sansi enter the palace." ” "Nuo" Shangguan Wan'er, who was dressed in men's clothes, got up to receive the order, and then left the Wucheng Palace.
Empress Wu is just an oracle, but she doesn't need to write a formal holy decree, just send an old and proper chamberlain to go.
It was night, and the lights in the Wucheng Hall were bright, and they had not been extinguished until the time had passed.
In the Wucheng Palace, only Empress Wu and her two nephews, Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi, the guards, Gong'e and the inner servants were all not allowed to enter, even Shangguan Wan'er was no exception.
Therefore, no one knew what Empress Wu and her two nephews were plotting to do, but it scared enough of the big and small officials and royal relatives in the divine capital, and everyone was in a panic, not knowing whose heads the thunder would fall on It is said that the green buildings in the night god capital have become deserted, not only those old guys and cats are worried at home, but even those idle gentlemen have been grounded, and it is not the one who is looking for a maid at home.
Before the storm comes, don't dare to let them out and bring trouble to the family.
If the storm has made people uneasy, like frightened birds, then it is the sound of several tight horses' hooves sounding in succession on the streets of Yedingding, and the "Turkic Koubian" that they have shouted at is nothing less than worse.
From nightfall to ugly hour, a total of three waves of Red Feather messengers broke into the Shendu, they were not like the dumb messengers of Bowang, while galloping their horses and shouting "Turkic Koubian, the border army is defeated" Even in the middle of the night, even if Empress Wu had gone to bed, no one dared to hide the red feather emergency report, so three red feather emergency reports were sent to the Wucheng Palace, and then When Shangguan Wan'er was called into the Wucheng Hall by Wu Chenghe, she was surprised to find that the coughing new prime minister had many clear fingerprints on both cheeks.
Wu Chenghei is recognized as the first person among the many nephews of the Wu family, he just entered the political hall a few days ago and became a freshly baked prime minister, and now, he was actually beaten, which made Shangguan Wan'er curious, and she couldn't help but be nervous.
The silence in the Wucheng Hall is terrifying, and it is also terrifyingly cold, there is a chill that drips into ice, which makes people feel like falling into an ice cave, and the cracks of their bones are almost frozen
